Small bugs in kitchen, what are they, how to remove? pic
These things look like ants, but they're not. They have a fat lower section
unlike an ant I've seen. They are very tiny, and can be found only around the kitchen sink area. Any ideas what they are and how to kill them? Here is the best pic I could get. http://i50.tinypic.com/2nuiyjq.jpg Thanks |

Are they hard-shelled like a small beetle? Potentially flour weevil or similar; check any dry stock in cabinets like rice, pasta, flour, etc., carefully; if so one of those may be how you introduced them. Just a guess--as say can't see clearly enough to tell anything at all from picture. -- |

Chris If eating them is out of the question, you could probably roll up a $100 bill and snort them out of the air. It's a good aerobic exercise. To the OP: They probably rode in on some kind of grain or whatever. Check all cereal or any other loose food on your shelves. |

They arrive as eggs or larva in grain, pasta, etc. If stored long enough, they will hatch. I had a bad infestation and couldn't find the problem. Cleaned out, I thought, all the suspect packages. What I missed, in the very back of a top shelf, was a very old partially used pkg. of couscous. It was loaded and had produced enough little critters to get into another pkg. of pasta. |

My neighbor had an infestation of these: http://bugs.ufl.edu/bug-of-the-day-psocids/ Every morning, there were thousands of them on his kitchen counter. Turns out that his sewer pipe had rusted thru and there was a big puddle of sewage under his house. Fixing the pipe and an exterminator fixed the bug infestation. |
